The DVR allows up to 18 user accounts. There are three default user levels in the system:

permission to archive files

• UserName-
In addition to the three default levels, an administrator can also set Customized levels of
access for each user as described in the following paragraphs.
The factory preset Administrator level login name is user, the password is 1234. We recommend changing this

• MODE
Press the Mode button on
the
remote control to select a user as the default
at login. An asterisk (*) will be
shown preceding the number for the default login user. This user’s login name
and password will be the
default credentials populated in the Login/Logout dialog box so the user doesn’t
have to enter text to login
the system. This feature is enabled by default. Press the Mode button to deselect
the user as the default
login user. Alternatively use the mouse to select and deselect default log in users.
WARNING – This feature could allow unwarranted access to the DVR. Caution is strongly advised when
enabling this feature. Setting a default login means that the user login name and password will
automatically populate the Login/Logout box. This could leave the system vulnerable to unauthorized use. It
is recommended to deselect a default login so users are required to provide credentials to access the DVR.
